My overall experience at Thomas Nelson has been pretty great. The best parts of this experience was getting to spend everyday with my friends and getting to do my extracurriculars with my friends.

There are four high schools in my county, and before going to high school I had heard that Thomas Nelson was the most strict out of all of them. While it was very strict, it was necessary for students to get an optimal learning experience.

To be rather honest Thomas nelson high school liked to push the narrative of giving students their voice when in reality them more ofter took away students voices.
